Master brake cylinder for a brake system of a vehicle, brake device and brake system having such a master brake cylinder, and method for producing a master brake cylinder

A brake device for a vehicle, comprising:

• a master brake cylinder, including:
• a master brake cylinder housing;
• a primary piston component;
• a secondary piston component;
• a primary spring device, preloaded with a first preload force, between the primary piston component and the secondary piston component;
• and
• a secondary spring device, preloaded with a second preload force, between the secondary piston component and a wall component of the master brake cylinder housing;
• wherein the second preload force of the secondary spring device is greater than the first preload force of the primary spring device;
• and
• at least one simulator, the at least one simulator being coupled with:
• (i) a primary chamber of the master brake cylinder, the primary chamber being restricted by the primary piston component and the secondary piston component, and/or (ii) a secondary chamber of the master brake cylinder, the secondary chamber being restricted by the secondary piston component, wherein:
• a primary piston contact area is on the master brake cylinder housing in such a way that a maximum distance between the primary piston component and the wall component of the master brake cylinder housing contacted by the secondary spring device is predefined in that the primary piston component, which is situated at the maximum distance from the wall component contacted by the secondary spring device, contacts the primary piston contact area,
• the master brake cylinder housing includes a compensating bore located adjacent to the primary piston component,
• the primary piston component includes a seal that frictionally engages an inner wall of the master brake cylinder housing, the seal being configured to leave the compensating bore open when the primary piston is at rest, and
• in response to a force that causes the primary piston to move inside the master brake cylinder housing and compress the primary spring without compressing the secondary spring, the seal of the primary piston is configured to move along the inner wall and close the compensating bore.
